Re: [MBZ] Locked Computer

[Russ Williams via Mercedes]

You won't find a Win Activation Code sticker on the bottom.
And you can't use a program to get it off the computer.
Win10 uses a digital ID that is stored on MS's servers.
Download the Win10 iso create a dvd or stick. Wipe the drive during
instillation. When asked for a product key chose I Don't Have One option.
After installing do all the updates. By this time 10 will talk to the 
servers

and activate with the digital license.
You can use Ultimate CD to get the version of Win 10 that's installed.
10 will ask what version you want during the install process.
Any questions feel free to email me and I'll answer.

You can create installation media from the Microsoft website,

sticker on the laptop should work to activate it.

Subject: [MBZ] Interesting observation on Windoze situation


I asked for help 8 days ago about a problem which developed after I ran
Avast's boot scan, that of the desktop gadgets stopped working.

Yesterday, I noticed when I shut down the laptop there was the darkened
screen which stated Windows was waiting for programs to close. Normally
this window shows the name of the program on which it is waiting. This
time, however, that area of the window was blank.

So I clicked "force quit". I found the next time I booted the computer,
the desktop gadgets were working properly.

The next time I rebooted the computer, I did the same "force quit" thing
and upon startup, again found the desktop gadgets were working properly.

Re: [MBZ] White Whale AC already dead

[Peter Frederick via Mercedes]

Seals at the compressor reminded me of the other sudden failure on that system 
-- the high pressure side o-rings between the compressor and manifold erode in 
use, and the leak is hard to find.  Easy to replace, and worth a shot.  Ditto 
for the hose set to manifold o-rings -- I've done both several times.

Re: [MBZ] White Whale AC already dead

[Peter Frederick via Mercedes]

That sealant will not work on a cracked evaporator -- the original had copper 
tubes feeding it and an aluminum body crimped together.  The differential 
expansion/contraction causes the aluminum to fatigue and crack all over the 
place.

I've replaced two, and need to do a third if I want to keep the "new" 300D 
going (questionable at 400k miles), so I had a failure rate of three out of 5.

It's a doable job, but plan on a long weekend and lots of swearing.  Be very 
careful with the floor vent linkage, it's fragile and you have to fab up 
something to replace it if it breaks or you have not defrost

Re: [MBZ] Locked Computer

[Scott Ritchey via Mercedes]

It's brute force but you should be able to remove the old hard drive then stick 
it in a docking station (connected to another computer) and pull files off the 
drive.  After that wipe the old drive and install a fresh OS.  
Or you could boot from a bootable CD or USB and get the files that way.

Re: [MBZ] White Whale AC already dead

[Scott Ritchey via Mercedes]

OE hose sets are co$tly but a hose shop can put new hoses on your old metal 
fittings for much less.
When my 82 300SD did something similar (sudden leak) the fault was one of those 
rubber flex hoses at the metal fitting.
I understand the manifold that bolts to the compressor is a problem area, 
especially for Diesels.  There are special seals (essentially a metal washer 
with rubber O-ring bonded to inside diameter) for this location but I think it 
requires a certain compressor version .

Re: [MBZ] Car245 - source for cheap parts

I bought a turn signal for the SL600 from some Latvia outfit. Arrived pretty 
quickly but the clear lens front edge sticks out about 1/8” too much from the 
enclosed part and will not slide in next to the headlight. Otherwise seems like 
a decent unit. I need to get out the dremel

Re: [MBZ] White Whale AC already dead

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

Well guys, my sniffer / leak detector says the evap is leaking and there is
a very slight leak around the expansion valve.

Dan - good idea - the hoses are original as far as I know, but I'm using
the Envro-safe propane/butane blend.  I think those molecules are much
larger than R-134 and don't leak out of old non-barrier hoses?

Mitch - yes on the vacuum.  System was flushed out with dry C02 gas, then
vacuum applied.  It very rapidly brought the vacuum down to 25 inches, and
then within another few minutes was at 29 inches.  I left the vacuum pump
on it for another thirty minutes per the Cliplight instructions, and then
charged it and installed the sealer.

I had nice cold AC after one week, and then it went downhill fast.  All the
work and the installation of the sealer was on Saturday 8 June, and now
just ten days later to system is so low that the compressor won't engage.

Re: [MBZ] Copart

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

The situation as it was would probably have lead a person looking at it 
casually to think head gasket. 

It does need to be sorted out as it appears to have been sitting a while. I 
know the blower motor needs to be fixed and the ac does not kick on. As far as 
cap goes not sure if it’s the right one or if it’s working. It will probably 
get replaced anyway

Re: [MBZ] Copart

From what you are seeing, I would likely rule out head gasket also. Pretty
quick test so cheap to do.

Looks like it just needs to be sorted out a bit. Does it have the correct
pressure cap on the radiator for that vehicle? , and is the cap working
correctly.

$1380. The interior is very clean but will need paint as it is falling off
like GM vehicles do. Truck has a CA title but was in the Springfield MO
sale. Anyway I picked it up today and after they set it on the trailer and
I strapped it down I thought I would see if it would start. I turned the
key, we had power, glow plug light went off, turned key and it fired right
up. I can’t believe they did not list it as running. As it sits it’s at
least a $4k truck. With a Maaco paint job on it it’s probably a $6-7k
truck.

It didn’t seem to get hot. It did get up to temp fairly quickly. It ran warmer

runs colder than it should. After it cools off later on I will open the cap and

Re: [MBZ] Copart

[G Mann via Mercedes]

Simple check for head gasket leak.
Remove radiator cap, start engine, run it at fast idle till it warms up, if
it takes that long.
If you have a head gasket leak, you will get bubbles and surging of coolant
out of the fill neck as you advance throttle, the surges of coolant
will increase in volume.
At low idle, coolant will bubble and gurgle over the fill neck... If it
doesn't, likely head gaskets are good.. maybe.

What happened with engine temps when you drove it? Typically, combustion
gas in coolant will cause high engine coolant temp also.. another indicator.

Re: [MBZ] Copart

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

I might have found reason the truck was at copart. It was donated but listed as 
mechanical. I pulled it off the trailer and drove it a couple of miles up and 
down the road. It runs great and drives very smooth with no rattles like my 
other suburban has. Feels about as close to a new truck as you can get. Got 
back home and I noticed the upper radiator hose is pretty much rock hard. My 
other suburban you can squeeze the hose in half. It could potentially have a 
leaking head gasket or head issue. For the 6.5 new heads are fairly cheap. 

Also, this one is a bit of a mystery. Truck has a CA title and carfax shows 2 
owners always in CA. Last carfax entry was from 03, nothing since then. Tires 
on it look brand new but have 07 date. I see an old mouse nest under the hood 
but no damage to anything.

If you don't want to preserve anything on the machine, just
reinstall. That's probably best anyway if you don't know the history of
the machine.

You can create installation media from the Microsoft website,
boot from that, and reinstall Windows. The Windows activation code
sticker on the laptop should work to activate it.

Re: [MBZ] I guess I was ignorant at some point too

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

The “kit” Uncle Kent is selling is just a bunch of O rings for the leveling 
valve. As usual, he’s screwing people blind (in my opinion) because they’ll let 
him. The only thing you can do with his kit is open up the valve and reseal it. 
There’s nothing shown for the wear parts. but hey! You get a “free” video!

The Mercedes kit includes O rings, a couple of check balls, a spring and new 
plungers/pistons. You can see what parts are included in the PelicanPart 
listing here:

Re: [MBZ] I guess I was ignorant at some point too

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

That’s the correct number and description. Nomenclature sometimes leaves 
something to be desired with Mercedes, as some things don’t translate well.

A good way to validate something like this is to take the part number with no 
spaces and google it along with the word “Mercedes”. You’ll see links that 
identify it properly or you can go to “images” in the search page and see 
pictures of what it is. I did this and there are all sorts of descriptions 
“leveling valve seal kit”.

Just as an aside, the Classic Center parts search properly identifies this as a 
“repair kit”.

The dealer found that number but calls it a 'Washer

where the hard lines connect to the body of the 
controller. I don't want to order one of those for $60 
for only the 3-4 washers in the picture.

Re: [MBZ] For those that did not understand the rebel flag is southern History.Not racist

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

The blue flag was more prominent, at least until near the end.   Itsall 
a buncha BS.   Look up Derek Warfield, "the Bonnie Blue Flag"


First time I was in the statehouse, (6th grade)  I looked at all the 
captured civil war battle flags and was very disappointed that the vast 
majority were not the stars and bars we had been told was THE flag. 
According to the former rag of record, there were 34 captured civil war 
flags.  If memory serves, only one was stars and bars, but a couple 
others had that as the field.   Same rag sez the state has 212 captured 
battle flags.  However 
https://www.legis.iowa.gov/docs/publications/IR/16891.pdf sez there are 
over 200 captured civil wah flags, and the legislature spent almost 2 
million to stabilize and restore em at time of publication.

Re: [MBZ] I guess I was ignorant at some point too

[MG via Mercedes]

What is the number of the kit with those hard parts in 
it? I asked about that last week and got no results. 
The dealer here in town cannot find a listing nor even 
a picture in the parts diagram for it.

It is as simple as dirt. The rebuild kit for the valve costs about $30. It
includes all new orings, a new spring or two, and a new metal plunger. The
old plungers start to stick in the aluminum housing after the orings begin
to fail. So it all needs to go and new parts go in. All you need is a clean
table and a couple of wrenches. And a jack and a flashlight. Brain
optional, but probably helpful.

I ultrasound cleaned the old housing. The steel line fittings cause
galvanic corrosion of the housing, so some barium or other stuff is
probably a good idea on the threads.

There is a pressure relief screw on the housing also. For when you first
open it up. But not really needed.

No more saggy rear. Probably a good time to replace the struts also, but
not required. Change the fluid out too.

I dont know why people put those spring chocks in at all. So silly when you
have this nice system in place.

I think the pump has a rebuild kit also, but when I had the head off I just
put the old parts back into the pump. Still works fine.

Someone else said how complicated the system is, seems pretty simple to

complicated than the ADS on the SL600 but similar principles.

I guess maybe this will expose my red neck, but I sort of feel the same 
way about the rainbow flag. The gay community has appropriated the 
rainbow as their symbol and thus no one else will touch it. Somehow 
seems inappropriate to me to have essentially taken away the rainbow 
from any other potential uses.

If you were an enterprise user you could use the MS tool MSDart. Not sure if 
it’s available to non-customers, however.

Ultimate Boot CD is another good tool for resetting or unlocking machines:

Re: [MBZ] Locked Computer

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

There’s a little bootable Linux (or something) file that will find the Windows 
password and wipe it or reset it it. I vaguely recall using one once, maybe 
booting off a CD or USB stick. You have to intercept the boot and go into BIOS 
and tell it to boot off wherever the file is.

What OS is it running? That will determine how to unlock it.
